I hope civil society contributes in a positive way, in what can in a way be constructed as a 'significant opportunity' having opened up for appropriate agenda framing and insitutional development that is in the best global public interest.

One of the most important things the CS can provide is a clear, consistent 
vision of what participatory multistakeholder Internet governance should look 
like, including a well-defined role for governments which is consistent with 
their public policy role and obligations. 

I imagine this vision is not primarily based on a "1 government, 1 vote" model,
but similarly it probably cannot be "all governments sit at the same table as 
everyone else in all circumstances, and by the way, one government has a 
unique role due to historical circumstances."
